MS Roald Amundsen

After hours on deck scanning for wildlife in polar conditions, there's nothing quite like the ship's sauna to bring your core temperature back to something civilized. A small luxury that feels disproportionately huge when you've spent the afternoon in Antarctica — or anywhere else that's trying to freeze you solid.

Lindstrøm is the Roald Amundsen's premium dining room, exclusively available to Expedition Suite guests. Locally sourced ingredients and Scandinavian technique elevate every dish on a menu inspired by Norway's rich polar heritage — it's the kind of meal you'll still be talking about when you're back home in your normal kitchen.

Fredheim is the relaxed, casual alternative to Aune — perfect for a quick bite between excursions or when you'd rather eat informally without missing whatever's happening outside. Light fare and Scandinavian-inspired options keep things easy and low-key, the way expedition life should feel.

Aune is the ship's open-seating main restaurant, where breakfast, lunch, and most dinners are served buffet-style with rotating menus that nod to the regions the ship is exploring. It's spacious, unhurried, and exactly the kind of place where you end up lingering over coffee with new friends.

The Roald Amundsen's aft pool deck is the great gathering place — when the sun cooperates, and honestly, even when it doesn't. Ringed by loungers and anchored by the heated infinity pool, it's where guests decompress between landings and compare notes on the day's wildlife sightings.

Positioned poolside on the aft deck, the Pool Bar keeps the outdoor experience going long after you've climbed out of the water. Cold drinks, warm company, and whatever's passing on the horizon — it's an easy place to lose track of time in the best possible way.

The heated aft infinity pool is a genuine showstopper, positioned for unobstructed views of wherever the ship happens to be sailing. Flanked by hot tubs, it's easily the best seat on the ship — whether you're watching Antarctic sunsets paint the sky orange or Arctic twilight glow at midnight.

One of the Roald Amundsen's most distinctive design features, the enclosed Observation Deck wraps the forward section with sweeping panoramic glazing. Floor-to-ceiling glass keeps you fully immersed in the landscape — wildlife scanning, iceberg watching, and golden-hour gazing — minus the windchill.

A well-equipped gym keeps your land legs ready for the next shore landing. Treadmills, weights, bikes, and elliptical trainers are all on hand — because hauling yourself in and out of Zodiacs is going to work muscles you forgot you had.

Perched at the bow of Deck 9 with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, the Explorer Lounge is the ship's social command center. Grab a drink, sink into a seat, and watch icebergs or fjords drift by — it's also where lectures, briefings, and impromptu wildlife spottings bring everyone together.

The onboard Science Center is the intellectual heartbeat of every HX expedition. Equipped with touch screens, microscopes, and state-of-the-art technology, it doubles as a lecture hall where the ship's expert naturalists break down the wonders you're witnessing in real time.

No balcony? No prob — the MF trades it for massive forward-corner windows, a day bed angled right at the view, and a water vapor fireplace that's equal parts cozy and extra. Found on Deck 7, this suite sleeps two and includes all Lindstrøm dining privileges and suite perks.

The most plentiful suite category on board, with 41 rooms spread across Decks 8 and 9. Each offers a private balcony, generous living space, mini-bar, and espresso machine — a proper expedition base camp that punches well above its compact footprint.

The MD is the ship's fully accessible corner suite — 375 square feet with a private balcony, double bed, double Murphy bed, and heated bathroom floors, designed without compromise. All suite benefits apply, including priority boarding and complimentary Lindstrøm dining.

The MC is where the sitch gets seriously luxurious — an aft corner suite with a private hot tub right on the balcony. Soak under the midnight sun or aurora while icebergs drift by. Suite amenities include Lindstrøm fine dining, heated bathroom floors, and all the expedition perks.

Nearly as generous as the flagship MA, this XL Suite offers 470 square feet of Scandinavian-chic comfort with a private balcony, double sofa bed, espresso machine, and the full suite perks package — including Lindstrøm dining and complimentary laundry.

The crown jewel of the Roald Amundsen's suite lineup — a sprawling corner suite with panoramic balcony views, a double bed, double sofa bed, and espresso machine for those early-morning glacier mornings. Suite guests also get all-inclusive dining at Restaurant Lindstrøm and priority boarding.
